Jehde posted:Another new song from the upcoming EitS album: It was....ok?  I don't hate or love it. It might take time to adjust to it. But EITS can't go on reproducing "Your Hand in Mine" for their whole career. Change and progress are healthy even if not everything hits the mark, so kudos to them. I like EITS in general and I'll buy the new album on CD. I find TWDY, GYBE, EITS, Tortoise and Mogwai all very reliable and engaging and I'll buy anything new by them. None of them have ever made a bad album (granted that you actually like their stuff), though I actually dislike Tortoise's first album but that's just my taste, I wouldn't say it's a bad album.Do we chat about Boards of Canada here or on another thread?

I did a review of the Fall of Messiah record for Echos & Dust last month, found that album to be spectacular. Shades of Deafheaven, The Constants & Caspian.

AccountSupervisor posted:So Ive been incredibly out of the post-rock loop for awhile. Right so last year the Israeli band Tiny Fingers released The Fall which is electronic dance post rock sort of in the vein of 65dos but still very much its own thing. Tangle Thoughts of Leaving released Yield To Despair which is probably their best work to date. My favourite release from last year was Oiseaux-Tempête's ÜTOPIYA? which is kind of Godspeed meets free jazz, it's astonishingly good. Also worth your time were A Swarm Of The Sun's The Rift which is kind of post-doom-rock sort of, really nice vocals on it, really bleak album, loved it. Masakichi released their post-indie album called Hummingbird, which I really enjoyed. Roz Vitalis released Lavoro DAmore which is kind of prog-post-jazz, think Samuel Jackson Five but more prog. If you like Sigur Rós, Yucatan's Uwch Gopa'r Mynydd is Wale's answer to that. Midas Fall's new album The Menagerie Inside is more pretty female vocal lead indie tinged post rock. German band Halma released Granular, which is very much worth your time as well but kinda hard to describe other than the guitars have tons of backwards delay on them. That's just off the top 20 list I submitted to Echoes & Dust, there was a ton of stuff this year, though I did think it was a weaker year than last for post-rock. A lot of it's not post-rock but here's what I submitted in full. Marriages: Salome BIG | BRAVE: Au De La Anna von Hausswolff: The Miraculous Petrels: Flailing Tomb Oiseaux-Tempête: ÜTOPIYA? Daniel Menche & Mamiffer: Crater Tangled Thoughts of Leaving: Yield to Despair Chelsea Wolfe: Abyss Masakichi: Hummingbird Whore Paint: Ultra Sound Roz Vitalis: Lavoro DAmore The Visit: Through Darkness Into Light A Swarm Of The Sun: The Rifts Shy, Low: Hiraeth Takaakira Goto: Classical Punk And Echoes Under The Beauty Yucatan: Uwch Gopa'r Mynydd Halma: Granular Midas Fall: The Menagerie Inside Esmerine: Lost Voices Hawkthonn: Hawkthonn

AccountSupervisor posted:I really need some good new post-rock in my life. chunkles posted:Sorni Nai, The Kraken, Salome. It was not a good post-rock year for me personally, but there's a lot to look forward to in 2016: Pirate Ship Quintet, Latitudes, pg.lost, Tides from Nebula just off the top of my head. (also check out Latitudes new album)

Oh yeah, The Kraken unfortunately only made it into my ears after submission deadline but absolutely deserved a place on that list. That album is more beautiful and profound than a metal concept album about encountering and fighting a giant squid has any right to be.

Seconding (or thirding) this, Kraken is one of my favourite albums of last year, and what got me following this thread. I would however suggest that "a metal concept album about encountering and fighting a giant squid" has not only a right, but an obligation to be amazing! As to something I discovered recently, Mugstar are a really good post-rock band.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I saw Charlotte Church live tonight at a Jeremy Corbyn benefit gig and her + her (very tight) band are basically doing post rock or shoegazey MBV-type stuff. I guess all her stuff is like that lately, after the poppy stuff. And she's got an incredible voice. Half the songs sound like early radiohead. Some sound like portishead. And then then there were MBV-style covers of older songs with big airy bits that sounded like Sigur Ros. What the hell is going on?!

I don't know if this album fits in this thread; apologies in advance if this should have gone somewhere else, but this seemed like the closest fit. Awhile back, I ran across this video (which is pretty rad in and of itself, for how it syncs with the song in a few places): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV3G1YKKEZw The band's 3-track EP came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEQ9WlhoJ9c

Both the new Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky albums leaked 2 weeks early. I've only listened to the new Explosions so far, but it's pretty cool. A departure from their previous albums, but it feels like they definitely picked up a new bag of tricks from scoring a few movies since releasing their last album and it's cool that they're trying new things after being together for over 15 years. With the shorter track times and more concise tracks, I feel like this one might be easier to pick up and re-listen to than Take Care even though I like Take Care a lot.

This new Mogwai   This isn't even technically one of their studio albums, just a soundtrack, but goddamn. e: Yeah, I'm not even gonna deny it. This is my favorite thing they've done since Hardcore Will Never Die. Jesus, this is good. I thought the first half was good but the second half gets even better.

Just wanted to pop in as a somewhat infrequent lurker. Thanks for the multiple suggestion for We Lost the Sea's Departure Songs. Never thought I'd enjoy an album with an unironic use of a goddamn Ronald Reagan quote as the coda. It's great. Also Mogwai's new album owns y'all

Finally got around to listening to the new Mogwai soundtrack, it still manages to be super chilling without the visuals of the documentary, good poo poo. I also listened to the new EitS, it's not as bad as I thought it'd be, still not particularly good though.

New EITS is pretty loving fantastic, different and less explosive than most of their albums but it is absolutely gorgeous. You can really see how much scoring movies as expanded their sound and scope as a band.
